What is the seasonal housing market like in the Lakes Region? I know the service industry looks for workers from Memorial Day to Labor Day, which is also the height of seasonal housing rates.
Having a job at $15/hour sounds great, but if there’s no place to live, not so much.
I live near a ski area which has the same problem in the winter. They have to provide housing for their seasonal workers - most of whom are from other countries.

We had a server at Giusseppe’s last summer from Romania. Spoke perfect English and was an excellent server. We chatted a little bit and she said the owner provided housing (for a fee). Sounded like a good arrangement.
